We have numbers 3550 and 9880. Let's start adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 0 in column 1 and get 0.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 8 in column 3 and get 14.
We'll write down the last digit 4 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 3 & 9 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 3550 + 9880 = 13430.
